Texas Supreme Court backs PUC rate base method for Bell
The Texas Supreme Court upheld the Public Utility Commission's method for setting telephone and electric rates, ruling invested capital means original cost minus depreciation. The decision limits Southwestern Bell's revenue gains by approving the commission's 9.5 percent rate of return on a $3 billion base, versus $3.4 billion under replacement cost. The court noted no specified return in the utility act, granting the PUC discretion to set a reasonable return.
